I wouldn't assume that FIRST spend an inordinate amount of money on the truss materials.

The material looks identical to what the event staff put up for A/V equipment at every regional. I wouldn't be surprised if FIRST struck a good deal with Show Ready Events to rent them out for a season, or if FIRST actually owned some of the equipment already.
